Do You Need ADA Signs Or ADA Family Restroom Signs?

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Fri, Jun 15, 2012 @ 06:06 AM

Do You Need ADA Signs Or ADA Family Restroom Signs?

Family Restroom Door Signs

When selecting family restroom signs, consider what message you are trying to convey to the public. Are the restrooms equipped for the entire family, ADA compliant and/or do they offer a changing station for mothers with babies?

Most family restroom signs convey simple images, often in black and white, that convey the purpose or functionality of the restroom. For example, women are depicted with a triangle shape, imagery that most people associated with a skirt, men are depicted without this added shape and a child is often holding hands between a man and a woman. If the restroom is ADA compliant, the image of an individual sitting in wheelchair is the most commonly chosen for the family restroom signs.

Beyond the basic imagery, family restroom signs are available in a variety of color backdrops; black, blue, green or even white. For lighter color signs, the imagery is often printed in black, whereas signs with a darker backdrop may offer the same imagery but in white forms for visual contrast. Family restroom signs are available in vertical and horizontal layouts, and a variety of sizes.

When selecting a sign for your business or organization, keep in mind that the sign needs to not only be easy to identify, but readable from a reasonable distance. Consider the overall size of the space as well as where the average visitor's viewpoint will be when selecting the sign's size. Ultimately, the sign's form and function should be simple, easy to understand and visible for all visitors entering the space.

Lobby and Reception Area Signs Show Your Logo Off.........

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Thu, Jun 14, 2012 @ 06:06 AM

Lobby Signs - Display Your Logo and show it off!

The lobby of your office building is an extremely important place, and you not only want it to give off a vibe of comfort and professionalism, but you also want it to help promote your business, whatever it may be. The fact is, signs are a crucial part of virtually all types of advertising, and well made ones can go a long way towards attracting people to your business. That's why it's so important that you choose the right people to design your lobby signs.

Creativity, aesthetics, and professionalism are all very important aspects of an effective sign. You know as well as I do that a plain old, boring looking black and white sign isn't going to do squat in terms of drawing interest to a business or product. If you're going to put up a lackluster sign to advertise your business, you might as well just fill that lobby space with a couch instead. When getting your sign designed, you really need to get it done by people who truly know what they're doing. Lobby signs and logo signs are a couple of the many specialties offered by The Sign Studio, where they offer a wide variety of signs that they design themselves.

Just remember, if you don't care enough about your sign to get it done by professionals, your potential customers aren't going to care about it either.

If you have any questions or need assistance with anything, please give us a call at The Sign Studio (818) 843-9200 or send us an e-mail at info@signstudiola.com.

Los Angeles County and Surrounding Areas - Handicap and Traffic Signs

Rules and Regulations for Handicap Parking Signs and Spaces that you need to know.

Don't take chances with handicap signs at your business, we make handicap signs from restrooms to parking spaces. Our signs meet the high standards required by the AMA and we know where and how high to put them!

Accessible handicap parking spaces must be positioned at the closest accessible entrance to the facility. The space has to be big enough for a vehicle, at least 96 inches wide, with additional space on either left or right that acts as an access isle and should be wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair. Two accessible spaces can share an access isle.

A sign with the international symbol of accessibility must be located in front of the parking space, mounted high enough to be visible at all times. Van accessible spaces are to have additional signage stating "Van-Accessible" mounted below the international symbol of accessibility. The AMA states that the letters and numbers on signs are to have a width-to-height ratio between 3:5 and a stroke-width-to-height ratio between 1:5 and 1:10. Minimum character height is 3 inches. Confused? Don't worry, we at The Sign Studio understand all of it and will supply you with signs which meet all the standards for handicap parking.

We do all handicap signs including restrooms.

Why Signs Are So Effective And Important To Businesses...........

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Thu, Jun 7, 2012 @ 06:06 AM

Why Signs Are So Effective And Important To Businesses...........

Your sign is your best employee!

The first impression is the only impression. We’ve all heard that song before. And you can’t change that first impression even if you tried; it’s what people hear and see and remember. That’s why your signage is so important.

That’s what a sign should do. It should scream from the rooftops. It should grab your attention like a great billboard in the sky. “Here we are! Look at what we have!”

A sign can speak volumes about your company, products and services. So what you definitely want is a sign that actually speaks to the customers and says, “Hey…look at me and remember me!” You want a sign that speaks personally to each person who sees it, enticing them to come in, look around, you’re welcome here, because customer loyalty is a great value in business and when your sign is readily recognizable, long term success is almost assured.

You want signage that introduces you and shakes the hands of those passing by. Remember that a sign works and speaks for you twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, absolutely making it your best employee ever!

Take a ride in your local area. Start noticing signs just where you live, and you'll realize that you can’t look anywhere without seeing one. So why not make yours stand out among the rest? Why not make your company’s first impression the lasting impression?

Signs, Banners, Sales and Grand Openings - Let's Celebrate!!!!!

Signs, Banners and Sales!

Have you considered how new customers find your business or learn of your product? There are many types of advertising and ways to grow your business; direct mail, social media, print ads, the Internet, and word of mouth are all effective ways to find exposure. Yet none of these outlets are as prevalent, or permanent, as well constructed, thoughtful custom signs.

Signs are one of the most effective, efficient, and cost conscious forms of media available to businesses. Signs advertise to people passing your establishment who normally may not know of your business or products. Signs tell people what you are selling, promote your brand, and are directly focused on the trade of the business.

Signs are affordable - if you compare the cost of signs to other advertising media, a well designed, on-site sign is quite inexpensive.

Signs are for everyone - the use of signs is practical because reading signs is beneficial. People read to remember and they retain the information on signs for future use.

Signs are on the job 24 hours a day, seven days a week - this can be considered non-stop, repeated messaging about your business, brand, and product. Every time a customer passes your business, they see your sign; the simple message repetition will help them learn and think favorably of your business.
